EXCALIBUR SYSTEM SETUP
Maps Menu
The surveillance areas that are displayed and monitored by
Excalibur are viewed as a series of separate maps that have
been created by the Excalibur CAD program. The Maps
function of the System Setup program allows the user to
establish the sequence of maps, regardless of the order in
which they were created or stored by the Excalibur CAD
program. A maximum of 7,200 maps may be defined in the
Excalibur map sequence.
Note: The Maps function cannot be run until the desired map
files have been created using the Excalibur CAD program
(see Initial Startup Note, page 1-5).
To define the map sequence setup, select the "Maps" function
from the Excalibur System Setup menu bar. The Setup Maps
dialog box is displayed, as illustrated below.
The map order in the current Excalibur display sequence is
indicated by the Map Number box at the top of this dialog box,
starting with the first map in the sequence, Map Number 1.
Press the "Next" and "Prev" buttons to step through the current
Map Number sequence. The data directory Path is shown
below the Map Number. The current map file associated with
each map sequence position is shown in the "Map File" box
below the data directory Path.
A list box showing all the current map files in the data
directory is shown in the middle of this dialog box. The order
shown in the list box is not the order of the maps for
Excalibur, only the listing of the files in the data directory
To add a new map to the end of the sequence, use the "Next"
button to step to a blank Map Number. Then, using the
mouse, select a map file from the list box below. That file
name is displayed in the "Map File" entry box. Alternately,
type the name of the desired map file directly into the "Map
File" entry box. Select "Save" to record the new entry.
To insert a map into the sequence, step to the Map Number
where the map is to be inserted, then select "Insert" at the
bottom of the dialog box. A blank record is inserted before
the selected map record. Next, select a map file from the
list box, or type the name of a map file into the "Map File"
entry box. Select "Save" to record the new entry.
To change an existing map, step to the Map Number to be
changed and select a new map file from the list box, or type
the name of a map file directly into the "Map File" entry
box. Select "Save" to record the new entry.
After each map file entry has been entered or changed, select
"Save" to save the data. The map file data is saved in a file
named "MAPSETUP.SDB" in the Data directory.
To delete a map from the sequence, move to the record for that
map, then select "Delete" at the bottom of the dialog box. A
Delete Record confirmation box is displayed.
Select "Yes" to delete the map from the sequence.
A map file may be placed more than once into the map
sequence, however, only the first copy in the sequence is called
up from a map reference icon (see the Icon Setup program,
Map icon) or when an alarm occurs for an icon on that map.
When all data has been entered, select "Exit" to exit the dialog
box and return to the main System Setup window.
Note: Before exiting the Setup Maps dialog box, ensure that
the sequence of maps, when viewed with the "Next/Prev"
buttons, is in the desired order.
